At a power-sipping 4.5 watts, it is the most energy-efficient Intel®
Core™ processor in the company’s history.1

BERLIN — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 5, 2014 —
IFA – At IFA, a global trade show for consumer electronics and home
appliances, Intel launched the new Intel® Core™ M processor, which will
power new 2 in 1 devices from a variety of manufacturers including:
Acer*, ASUS*, Dell*, HP*, Lenovo* and Toshiba*. Delivering the optimal
blend of mobility and performance, Intel’s new processor was
purpose-built for amazing performance in the thinnest, fanless
ultra-mobile devices. The Intel Core M processor can power razor-thin
devices with Intel Core processor-level performance and deliver up to
double the battery life when compared to a 4-year-old system.2

“We’ve been on a multi-year mission to address end-user requirements and
transform mobile computing,” said Kirk Skaugen, senior vice president
and general manager of personal computing at Intel Corporation. “The
introduction of Core M marks a significant milestone in that journey.
Core M is the first of a new product family designed to deliver the
promise of one of the world’s thinnest laptops and highest performance
tablets in a single 2 in 1 device.”

Faster Performance, Even More Battery Life

The Intel Core M processor enables up to 50 percent faster compute
performance and 40 percent faster graphics performance versus the
comparable, previous 4th generation Intel Core processor.3
Consumers with older PCs will notice a more significant performance
improvement. The Intel Core M processor delivers up to two times the
compute performance and up to seven times better graphics compared to a
4- year-old PC, for example.2

In 2013, Intel delivered the biggest generation-over-generation battery
life improvement in the company’s history. The Intel Core M processor
and platform power reductions raise the bar on battery life even higher.
The Intel Core M processor can handle more than 8 hours of video play,
which is up to 20 percent (1.7 hours) longer battery life versus the
previous-generation Intel Core processor4 and double the
battery life of the average 4-year-old PC.1

Thin, Fanless 2 in 1s Available for Holiday 2014...and Beyond

The Intel Core M processor package is 50 percent smaller and, at 4.5
watts, has 60 percent lower thermal power than the previous generation.5
This lets OEMs design sleek, fanless systems less than 9 mm thin –
thinner than an AAA battery and today’s sleekest laptops. There are
already more than 20 Intel Core M processor-based OEM products in the
development pipeline. The first systems based on the Intel Core M
processor will be on shelves for the holiday selling season.

In Q4, Acer will expand its popular 2-in-1 series of notebooks with
the
Aspire
Switch 12*, featuring a 12.5-inch FHD
display with unique kickstand and magnet keyboard to move smoothly
between five modes.

ASUS introduced the
ASUS
Zenbook UX305*, an incredibly light
and thin Ultrabook™ with a 13-inch QHD display and the ASUS
Transformer Book T300FA* 2 in 1, which was unveiled during the Intel
keynote. The Transformer Book T300FA is a high-performance 2 in 1 and
is expected to be available in Europe this fall for an estimated €599.
Looking ahead, ASUS plans to go even thinner with the ASUS Transformer
T300 Chi*.

Dell has announced its first commercial 2 in 1, the
Latitude
13 7000 Series*, which combines a
lightweight business Ultrabook and a detachable tablet in one
powerful, no-compromise device.

HP further extends its award-winning ENVY portfolio with the addition
of two new
HP
ENVY x2 * detachable PCs, available in
13.3-inch and 15.6-inch form factors.

The new
Lenovo
ThinkPad Helix * , available in
October, is 12 percent lighter and measures 15 percent thinner than
its predecessor while packing even more power thanks to the Intel Core
M processor.
